Are you saying that DALL-E is impressive? On fediverse it's used for jokes and memes, because it's really, uh, ugly? simplistic? using obvious components in each image. To my eye, it looks like trickery. Maybe the "full, paid, commercial" model and outputs are better; i'm not sure.

I'm actually looking for a decent classifier / object recognition platform to sort on the order of millions of images coarsely - as it stands all of the ones i've tried can't determine if an image is drawn/painted or a photograph, for instance, which reduces my enthusiasm of the whole field.

On the other hand, audio AI/ML stuff - such as spleeter - impresses me, as i can't do that stuff by hand.
